That's a pretty good thumbnail. I wanna see the general reaction to all of the First-Person stuff since there are folks out there that seem a bit...unsettled.

I really liked this game but between TLOU: Remastered and TR: Definitive Edition I don't think I want to pay for more next gen versions of last gen games. But from what little I have seen first person looks pretty cool.

Got super excited about this after watching Danny's stream today. The first-person mode looks unexpectedly cool, but yeah, it makes some of the seedier elements of the game pretty weird.

Really interested in the first-person mode, even though I really disliked a lot about this game. Thanks for the QL!

No way am I dropping 60 dollars for this, but I'm hoping the first-person stuff makes the game more interesting.

Can't wait for the PC version. Considering my GTAIV looks better than this does with its IcEnhancer and texture mods, I'm super pumped to mod GTA V, what with its better gameplay and better city.

Interesting that they didn't include PS4 in the quick look title (a little confusing that they have 2 quick looks with the exact same title).

Anyways, if I hadn't played through and did most of the side content for this game last year then I probably would be more interested in picking it up. First person mode does seem interesting.

Cool! I beat the PS3 version already when it came out, but I don't mind playing the new version. There was still a lot of sode stuff that I wanted to do bit didn't. I'm holding out for the pc version (assuming the port is good!)

I think I might be willing to mess around with GTA5 again with all the stuff they've added and the improved visuals. Not gonna happen until at least early next year, but I'm certainly interested.

The first person stuff just looks horribly awkward to me. Nice visually but it looks like it FEELS bad to play.

Man...Vinny really does seem like the only one on staff who really fucking goes for it in open world games. Shooting tires, knocking people out, jumping on car hoods, doing the dead fish animation off of rooftops...these games are so much more entertaining to me when you let go of any sense of seriousness and get loose.

I just replayed Bully over the last week. The original PS2 version, even. I'm sad to say that game didn't age well. I'd love to see today's Rockstar do a Bully 2 and improve on all the flaws that one had. Though the hand-to-hand combat's still the best in any of their games, other than The Warriors.

Edit: Aaand Brad outbraded himself in this one.

I beat this on ps3 when it first came out. I'm sure this version looks better but I honestly can't tell the difference between this version and the older version unless I have a direct comparison. That's gotta say something to how good looking the older versions was.

I must be a horrible person because I find Trevor to be my favorite character. He's fucking hilarious!

He's the role I play in these open world games. A complete psychopath.

GTA5 is a terrible game made completely obsolete by Saints Rows 3 and 4. It is painfully slow.

I actually have a hard time watching this.

I literally get so hyped that I have to turn it off - I can't think about it until January. I can't think about it until January. I can't think about it until January.

I'm picking up Inquisition tonight at midnight and all I can think about is exploring Los Santos in first person.

Saint's Row is a garbage series that has less content with each iteration. Its only contemporaries are the Fable and WWE series.

@dragonzord: More content does not always equal better. Just because Saints Row 2 had more content, or more activities did not make it a better game. I tried so many times to get into the first two saints row games when they were out, but they were just never fun to me. When Saints Row 3 was announced, I honestly didn't care. It wasn't until Giantbomb introduced me to it that I decided to try it, and ended up loving the series after that. Saints Row 3 and 4 are some of the most fun I've ever had in open world games. Eventually I did go back and beat the first two Saints Row, but my complaints still stand...they were not fun to play.

GTA5 was the first GTA game I could actually stand to finish to completion, and while it seemed like one of the more refined games in the series...it still felt just as boring in spots as ever. After I finished it, I've tried going back and seeing if I could have more fun with it, but without the sorta well done story to keep me going, the world feels lifeless, and boring.

Played it on PS3 so I think I'll wait for the PC version early next year especially considering I'll have enough new games this year to keep me occupied.
